OK while im waiting
in categories.tpl I did this
{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}
{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}
{assign var="tmp" value = $categories[cat_num].categoryid}
{if $tmp ne "250"}
<FONT class="CategoriesList">
{$categories[cat_num].category}</FONT>
{/if}
then in my own menu tpl
{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}
{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}
{assign var="tmp" value=$categories[cat_num].categoryid}
{if $tmp eq"250"}
<FONT class="CategoriesList">
{$categories[cat_num].category}</FONT>
{/if}
Now I have the Photography category on its own menu, so I can link my own CSS to change the whole appearance when someone selects it.
I have a question though, in this
{assign var="tmp" value=$categories[cat_num].categoryid}
I tried to get the category name by using
{assign var="tmp" value=$categories[cat_num][categoryid].category}
so I couyld test for "Photography" instead of the cat ID of 250 that I had to get from MyPhPAdmin. Anyone know how to assign the category name so I can see it??
